Duh. No doubt it was quite a dumb move, but after all the mistakes we've seen today from all the drivers, I can't single anyone out for Donkey of the Race.

Hamilton for going onto inters when he didn't need to. The dangerous spin is the cherry on top.

Mclaren for making a dumb move and putting inters on Hamilton's car.

Hamilton for spinning out of lead and then almost taking Di Resta out.

Vettel for making a mistake and handing Hamilton the lead.

Everyone who put Inters on at the second shower.

hamilton for the spin that forced Di resta off the track.

Stewards; Should probably have put out a SC after that big fire.

Sadly it happens all the time and at all levels and at lower levels it doesn't always gets penalised.

When a driver spins their natural reaction is to spin round again.

You could spin round in a safe gap but the tyre smoke can create mayhem for oncoming traffic.

The problem is that even if the SC came out the marshalls would've been exposed to stupid risks because it occurred during the pit window. And even with debris the cars were having to stay within the pit exit/white line.

Well Lewis has said that he didn't see Paul and apologised so I have no problem with it.

But once the pit madness had settled down THEN they could have sorted things out. Whilst I'll let Lewis off, I think the race director was very much in the wrong there.

Di Resta told the BBC the penalty would have been a difficult choice to make

Hamilton's engineer.
I was mad when I saw that they put him the softer tires, the tires were good for only 10-12 laps and only 5-6 competitive laps.
Why this choice when Hamilton yesterday was fast on the harder ones.

Like I said, it was just one of those things and for me, the fact that Hamilton recognised that what he did was wrong is enough, if you didn't see someone then how are you meant to not spin in front of them, hopefully next time Lewis will look a little harder though.

Gone all defensive, huh?
Did not see what? His own dumbbass?

three cars in a row, and Paul was number two.
He nearly took out number one (who that was I do not remember)

If this was his only "event" of the season, I might think something else, but this ain't.

Dude, I was complaining before about Lewis' move because I though as usual he'd take no responsiblity for it and have a cry. He didn't and I changed my view of things, deal with it.

like I said, the pattern has been there all season.

so deal with it the right way, or bury your head up the chute, like the stewards have done.

As Aki said, why try so hard to start an argument? Usually I'm happy to be hard on Lewis, today is not one of those days so you'll have to get over it?

Sorry, I wasn't having a go at you. Just pointing out to Di Resta's remarks to our non-BBC friends.

Saying that, on the replay you could see Di Resta coming into the chicane but then I don't know the protocol for anti-stall and back into first gear again, and as I said earlier that situation blurs your peripheral vision.
